The Glorious Fourth

It is not yet the Glorious Eighth, but since the rest of the country celebrates the Fourth....

The 153rd Pennsylvania, "Northampton's Own"
Barlow's Knob, Gettysburg

Hurrah for the flag of the free!
May it wave as our standard forever,
The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right.
Let despots remember the day
When our fathers with mighty endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray
That by their might
And by their right
It waves forever.
-- Stars and Stripes Forever

And to salute our Marine Corps:
